Episode 245
The war continued for three years.
The war that started in the empire soon spread to the entire continent.
People were devastated.
Enemy monsters kept increasing in number, but humans did not.
As the war continues, damage is suffered and their numbers decrease.
It is inevitable that humans will become more and more disadvantaged.
Originally, the number of monsters was controlled naturally and by humans.
When the number of monsters in a mountain range increases too much, a monster wave occurs in which monsters running out of food come down from the mountain range and attack humans.
At that time, the knights of the kingdom or empire would move in and deal with the monsters.
But what about now?
Goblins that give birth to hundreds of babies every day.
Even individuals with poor fertility were being forced to increase their fertility.
The number of monsters increases every day.
From tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The number increased quickly.
Moreover, I did not expect that their numbers would decrease on their own as their food chain disappeared and they became self-controlled.
In three years, three countries that existed on the continent disappeared, and a country of monsters was established in their place.
Half of the continent was swallowed up by monsters.
We need to get the land back. If the monsters are not dealt with, humans will eventually wither away.
Humanity is united.
We joined forces as one, regardless of national distinction.
Centered around the empire, the countries held out their sharp swords towards the monsters.
There is a saying that if humanity comes together, there is nothing that can be achieved.
Yes, it is not wrong.
Because humans have endless possibilities.
But that was all possible only with time.
The monster army never waited for humanity to advance even once.
Push in.
The humans tried to defend themselves somehow.
They built a defense line and tried their best to prevent them from being pushed back further.
However, it had no choice but to be destroyed by the endless waves of monsters.
If you look at just one goblin, even someone who has not trained with a sword can catch it as long as they do not react properly.
But it’s different when the number increases.
Goblins are mean. Although he only had superficial knowledge, he knew how to bully others with that knowledge.
What if not just dozens but thousands of such guys attack you?
What if not just one or two ogres, but dozens of them come running?
Hundreds of wyverns come from the sky and throw rocks, and sandworms, which live only in deserts, break through the ground.
Hell itself.
Humanity bleeds as time passes.
“Ha... it really looks like a dog.”
“How long are we going to be like this? Should I just commit suicide?”
“I am also very worried. “I’d rather die comfortably than be eaten alive by those guys.”
The faces of the soldiers standing guard, encamped in a place teeming with monsters and setting up a defense line, were full of fatigue.
Humans value their own lives.
Unless you’ve been through a really, really shitty situation or you’ve gone crazy from trauma that’s clearly visible even when you close your eyes.
It was rare for a sane person to mention suicide.
No, you can say it.
But it was rarely put into practice.
But now it was different.
The soldiers standing guard seemed ready to commit suicide at any moment.
The blades they are holding look unstable.
Their eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to stab each other at any moment.
“Still, let’s endure. “Because we haven’t lost yet.”
“Yeah... right. “We had them.”
Originally, the outcome of this war was decided.
Victory of monsters.
No matter how strong he was, he was a human being with limitations.
No matter how much they fight and fight, they can’t help but get tired of the endless monsters.
It was no wonder that the will to fight was broken.
It is normal to use the blade you are holding to stab yourself in the neck rather than the monsters.
The Giants are divided.
The steel armor that firmly protected their bodies was torn apart by the knights’ spears like a piece of paper.
The Auror on the spear tore apart the Giant’s body mercilessly.
These are the brave warriors who survived and endured three years of war.
Giants can barely stop them.
“Hmm, not bad.”
Looking at that, Ahar tilts his head in satisfaction.
“It was deliciously cooked.”
He moves.
He disappeared from sight in an instant and appeared behind the knights.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Master Hana raised his spear and blocked Ahar’s fist.
His spear strikes Ahar like a flash of lightning.
Ahar easily dodges the attack without blinking.
Ahar, who casually dodged the attack, punched the Master’s chest, which was momentarily revealed.
“Where!”
Another Sword Master blocks the way.
When Ahar tries to attack him, the new master moves to block the attack and another attacks from behind.
Five masters pass the exam, and the Archmage supports them with buffs and debuffs.
And behind the scenes, I watched the timing.
“You can do it, right?”
“If you just trust us, we will execute it perfectly.”
Assassin Master Mahol stares at Ahar’s every move with sharp eyes.
His eyes do not miss Ahar’s movements.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Not even a moment after the collision, one of the masters’ arms was torn off.
Another master’s ankle was broken, and one barely escaped having his neck broken.
Not a single person should die.
Everyone here knew that Ahar absorbs talent.
“now!”
Mahol moves.
That was when Ahar’s hand reached towards the Archmage’s neck.
In an instant, Mahol’s dagger, which moved to Ahar’s shadow, turned into a poisonous snake’s fang and pierced Ahar’s thigh.
Ahar flinched momentarily.
I clung to it without letting go.
bang! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Before I could even blink, dozens of battles took place.
It’s only a brief bump, but my arm feels tingly.
I think I broke a bone.
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain.
-Hellfire!
It falls back with Riems’ magic.
The flames of hell covered Ahar.
Ahar moved without a problem in the fire that could melt even steel in an instant.
Running to me.
His eyes rolled over. The desire to kill myself and covet the talents I possess.
I didn’t run away, I fought back.
Brandishing ignorance.
A stab wound appears on Ahar’s shoulder.
Ahar’s fist struck my abdomen and the nameless stabbed Ahar’s thigh.
There was no defense.
As if attack were the best defense, I attacked twice when attacked.
“Crazy....”
“A terrible bastard.”
The masters click their tongues at the sight.
While receiving treatment from the Archmage, they warm up their bodies so that they can participate in battle at any time.
But I didn’t give them a chance.
Ignorance was stuck in Ahar’s heart.
end?
The faces of the masters, which had brightened for a moment, suddenly darkened.
“Whoops...!”
Ahar’s hand penetrated the area where my heart was.
